December 12, 20178 yr Is there someplace free that I can get current cycles, or even recent cycles without paying for them?
December 12, 20178 yr I only know of the freeware updates for FSX' navaid database: http://aero.sors.fr/navaids3.html SID/STAR info per se isn't available for anything outside of a freeware A32x project and only for a limited amount of airports. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
December 12, 20178 yr Honestly...if you go for the annual Navigraph (since you mentioned them) subscription (for FMS data only) that would run you US$2.53 per month. Less than a pack of smokes or even a coffee at your favourite cafe; and those would be up to date cycles for ANY add-on you may own. Not a bad deal. Aerosoft's Navdata Pro offers similar bundles. MSI Pro Z690-A DDR4 | i5 13600KF | G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB 3600MHz | RTX 3080 (12GB) | Samsung 980 M.2 NVMe 500GB | Samsung 980 M.2 NVMe 1TB | Samsung 850EVO 500GB | Crucial P3+ 2TB NVMe | 2TB Seagate HDD | Deepcool AK500 CPU Cooler | Thrustmaster T16000M HOTAS | CH Yoke | Various Winctrl hardware | 21:9 1440p UW monitor | Win 11 23H2 build | MSFS2020 | Tony K.
December 12, 20178 yr It's a small price to pay for all the work that goes into updating the database monthly. Think about it, there is site cost, database updates, installer creation for all the aircraft and platforms. A few bucks a month is worth it.

December 12, 20178 yr ++1 Also, Navigraph isn't a one aircraft deal. The one subscription can be used on multiple platforms, multiple aircraft, multiple utilities, etc. It's one of, if not the best deal in my list of flight sim related expenses. Ernie
December 13, 20178 yr I wish they still offered the 4 cycle deal. It was reasonable for 11-12 bucks and I would update every 3 months. Personally, I do not need to update every single month. It truly is a great service though.
December 13, 20178 yr Commercial Member You can also subscribe to Aerosoft's NavDataPro. I have them both and they are both very good. Dave Hodges System Specs: I9-13900KF, NVIDIA 4070TI, Quest 3, Multiple Displays, Lots of TERRIFIC friends, 3 cats, and a wonderfully stubborn wife.

They're offering (Navigraph) a monthly subscription that you can buy individually and then can be cancelled. In that way you only pay for the month you wish to update your navdata.

December 13, 20178 yr True, but it's around 10 bucks for one update whereas I was getting four updates for a dollar or two more. Granted the monthly sub also comes with charts, but I have no use for them.
